This is not hard to explain, when you are ready to give up the five-year-old belief that animals wouldn’t have consciousness. I’d say, obviously they have enough consciousness to realize what’s happening when they’re trapped or hurt.

Additionally, it’s good for everybody if somebody in distress is helped. This is probably why religions cater to the belief that there would be someone who’d help anybody in distress.
